Languages Other than English
Head Teacher: Mrs. L. Smith
Language is the basis of our communication and human interaction. By learning a foreign language, students develop knowledge, understanding and skills for successful participation in our dynamic world.
Moving between countries, cultures and languages has become more commonplace because of globalisation. High quality education in languages enables students to respond positively to the opportunities and challenges of their rapidly changing world.
